The term of employment for these employees, however, is subject to section 50(2) of the Public Service Employment Act, which limits to 90 working days the length of time that casual employees may work in a calendar year in any particular department or organization of government (16) The Chief Electoral Officer indicated that this limit on the duration of employment creates difficulties in the hiring and retaining of knowledgeable election workers and impedes the effective functioning of elections.
La durée d’emploi de ces employés, toutefois, est visée par le paragraphe 50(2) de la Loi sur l’emploi dans la fonction publique (LEFP), qui limite à 90 jours ouvrables le nombre de jours qu’ils peuvent travailler par année civile, dans un même ministère ou autre administration(16).
